Carflex Conduit is strong and lightweight, and because it weighs 50% less than metallic systems, it s easy to handle, transport and install. Carflex is ideal for industrial, air conditioning, heating, and outdoor lighting applications. Nonconductive and noncorrosive Lightweight for easy handling, transportation, and installation Crush, abrasion, and strain resistant Provides superior wire protection Smooth interior ideal for pulling cable No jagged edges Maintains internal I.D. even in tight radius bends Type LFNC-B Resistant to oil, acid, ozone, and alkaline UL Listed for use as indicated in Article 356 of the 2002 NEC; and Section 12-1300 of the 2002 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. UL Listed for outdoor use UL Listed for sunlight resistant Trade sizes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" are UL Listed for direct bury Sequentially marked footage Suitable for use at conduit temperatures of 80 C dry, 60 C wet and 60 C oil resistant as required by section 15-6 of ANSI/NFPA 79-1985 and UL 1660. Note: Liquidtight flexible conduits, metallic and nonmetallic, in contrast to rigid PVC conduit and electrical nonmetallic tubing, does not have wire temperature limitations. Any temperature rated wire (for example, 90 wire) can be used as long as the temperature conditions marked on the conduit are not exceeded. UL Listed conduits that are not marked are limited to a maximum temperature of 60 C wet or dry. Applications Control and motor Air conditioning and heating Computer power distribution Machine tools Console wiring Transformer connections Outdoor lighting Custom Orders Available in black and gray.

Carflex Pre-Wired Liquidtight Whips Carflex Liquidtight Whip assemblies save the customer time and hassle of having to hunt for the needed components. Our moisture tight, nonmetallic, flexible conduit system is ideal for installing swimming pool motors, hot tubs, spas, air conditioners, pumps, outdoor lighting and more. Unlike plastic coated metal conduit, the Carlon Carflex system has no metal core to fatigue, rust, or corrode. The Carflex system has no sharp edges or burrs to cut into the wire insulation. Metal conduit is subject to fatigue and penetration of moisture. The Carflex Liquidtight Whip assembly is complete with Carflex moisture tight conduit, wire, one straight fitting, and one 90 fitting. All this makes for quick and trouble free installation. E155504 Designed for easy installation Will not rust or corrode Can be used for many commercial and residential applications. Many applications such as; swimming pool filters, hot tub spas, air conditioners, pumps, etc. Available in 1/2" and 3/4" diameters Available in 4' and 6' lengths Each kit contains (1) straight and (1) 90 fitting Complete with (3) 8, 10 or 12 gauge wires Custom Orders Also available in special configurations including different fitting combinations, wire types and sizes, and metal fitting variations.
